        <p>
            The Northwest Arkansas .NET User Group has always been proud of the fact that we
            have been able to offer professoinal meetings and speakers without charging our
            members dues or event fees. We have only been able to do this because of the excellent
            support we have received from individuals and corporate sponsors.

            Most software developers think 
            somebody should do a better job of delivering great tools and components. Tools that are 
            simpler and more convenient to use.  Components that are quick to download and evaluate, 
            and work idiomatically with your favourite platform.  And of course all this while making 
            it easy to tweak them to your particular needs.
        </p>
        <p>
            That's what <a href="http://www.mindscapehq.com/">Mindscape's</a> all about.  We've got years of experience on .NET and other platforms, 
            and we were tired of waiting for 'somebody' to bring the awesome.  So in 2007 we started a 
            company to do it ourselves: to build the best developer tools we could, based on three simple 
            principles.

            Bronze Sponsorship - @Html.ActionLink("Become a Sponsor", "Become", "Sponsor")</h2>
        @*<a href="http://www.tekpub.com/"><img src="../../Content/images/sponsor-tekpub.png"
            border="0" alt="TekPub" /></a>
        <p>
            <a href="http://www.tekpub.com/">TekPub</a> is a collaborative effort between GrooveMob
            (James Avery and Rob Conery) and the excellent authors that have trusted us with
            their content. Our idea is simple: Techbooks pretty much suck most of the time and
            you end up spending a whole mess of money when really what you want is to spend
            less time (and money) and learn from the people you trust. We've written books before
            and generally it's OK, but the process is long and involved and is not terribly
            compelling for the authors (unless they like torture). Once something is written,
            however, it's done and committed to history. These books are good for a year, maybe
            2 and then you get to pay more for another one. We think this is a bit silly - not
            to mention wasteful - and you have better things to do with your time other than
            deciding what book to buy (and when to read it).
